How do I find the anti-glare coating type options when I order?
To select a specific anti-glare coating (e.g., ClearVue, OleoGuard, CrystalClear, or FogResist), follow these steps during the order process:
Choose your frame
Choose your lens type (single vision, progressive, bifocal,
reading, etc.).
Choose functional options (clear, Transitions, sunglasses, etc.).
Choose your lens material (anti-glare coating is selected with
your lens material)..
If the option does not appear immediately, look under "More Lens Options" to find your desired coating. Please note that our premium coatings (e.g., OleoGuard, CrystalClear, and FogResist) are bundled with our premium lens options found under "More Lens Options." This ensures you can access all available coatings for single vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses.

Are anti-glare coatings scratch-proof?
All Payne glasses come with a complimentary scratch-resistant hard coat. However, it's important to note that no lens is completely scratch-proof. For superior scratch resistance, consider our CrystalClear coating, which provides added durability. Regardless of the coating, all lenses should be handled with care and cleaned properly to maintain their condition.

-
Are anti-glare coatings worth it?
Yes, anti-glare coatings significantly improve visual comfort by reducing reflections from screens, headlights, and bright light sources. They also reduce eye strain, making them a valuable addition for everyday eyewear.
-
Can I add an anti-glare coating to my existing
lenses?
Anti-glare coatings are typically applied during the manufacturing process and cannot be added to lenses that are already made.
You would need to order new lenses with the coating applied.
-
Do anti-glare coatings wear off over time?
High-quality anti-glare coatings, such as those offered by Payne, are designed to be durable. However, over time and with improper care, coatings can degrade. Proper cleaning and storage can help extend the life of your lenses. It’s recommended that glasses be replaced every two years at most, as coatings are not typically designed to last beyond this time frame.
-
How do anti-glare coatings help with eye strain?
Anti-glare coatings reduce the amount of reflected light that reaches your eyes, improving clarity and reducing the need for your eyes to strain to see clearly. This is especially beneficial for people who work long hours on screens or drive frequently at night, providing a more comfortable visual experience.
-
Can anti-glare coatings be used on any type of lens?
Yes, our anti-glare coatings are available for all lens types at Payne without exception. Check the "How to Order" section for specific instructions on finding your desired coating option.
-
Are anti-glare coatings also UV protective?
While anti-glare coatings reduce reflections, they do not inherently block UV rays. However, all of our lenses come with built-in UV protection within the lens material itself, ensuring your eyes are safeguarded from harmful UV exposure.
